Designer by practice.
Builder by necessity.
Building systems where design survives production.
Eight years across commercial real estate, multi-brand retail, and B2B SaaS, and now a studio of my own. The constant: An appetite for the layer most designers avoid, where design either survives production or quietly dies.
arc
RIPCO taught me systems before I had the vocabulary for them, because producing marketing for 100+ properties at once leaves no other option. West Elm added conversion pressure at retail-email scale, and Workhuman gave me four years to run the instinct across five surfaces — art director by title, systems designer in practice. Marly is where it points: a studio where the system itself is the product.
how
Design leads and automation executes. I direct composition in Figma, a two-phase pipeline translates finished frames into production code, and nothing ships until a ground-truth check confirms the build matches the design. I’d rather show receipts than adjectives.
now
Based in New York, I’m open to Creative Technologist, Design Engineer, and Senior Design roles where a human is the first reader of the work. That’s where those two halves stop being separate jobs.
If you’re building something where design intent has to survive production, I’d like to hear about it.
